Sortie rapide à vélo de Iéna à Magdala

This ride takes you from the lively university city of Jena to the quieter town of Magdala, covering just over 18 km with a nice mix of terrains. You'll leave behind Jena’s vibrant blend of science, history, and quirky student life, heading west into a more rural and peaceful vibe.

The route starts gently along paved and asphalt roads—perfect for a warm-up and enjoying Jena's green surroundings. But don’t get too comfy! There’s some serious climbing ahead—over 350 meters in elevation—so expect your legs (and lungs!) to get a good workout, especially on those gravel sections in the middle.

About a third of the way is gravel and unpaved track, leading you through rolling farmland and quiet woods. The ride wraps up with an easy descent into Magdala, a charming small town known for its local bakeries and proximity to Weimar.

All in all, it’s a great mix for anyone looking to escape city buzz for a couple hours of countryside adventure—and maybe pick up a pastry at the finish!
